This is one of the top ten tourist destinations in Thailand that you must not miss. It is incredibly beautiful, stunning, and breathtaking. The natural beauty here is incredibly rich. The water is emerald green, contrasting with the color of the sky. Sunlight hits the rocky cliffs, and as you ride a boat, the scenery along the way is mesmerizing. The water is cool and clear, and you can hear the calls of various birds. It's very enjoyable.

Guilin of Thailand🦋
“Thailand’s Guilin is so beautiful, Mom! 🏞️ The emerald green water is surrounded by stunning limestone mountains. I must say that it’s like being transported to China without a passport. 🌿 You can take a relaxing boat ride or take amazing photos. You’ll get a great natural feel~ 🛶 This is the Ratchaprapha Dam (Cheow Lan). You have to come here at least once in your life! I must say that you have to wake up early to see the fog. It’s so romantic✨ If you’ve never been here, hurry up and plan a trip. I guarantee that you’ll enjoy it!”

Khao Sam Kloe 📍 Ratchaprapha Dam
Khao Sam Kloe at Ratchaprapa Dam or as it is popularly known as Cheow Lan Dam
Traveling by car, park at the pier and you can take a boat to see the view of Khao Sam Kloe in a short time. You can choose to do a 1-day trip or stay overnight at the dam, whichever is more convenient for you.
But if you want to recommend, try staying here for 1 night because the atmosphere from early morning to early morning is very good. 🌥️🌥️

You can fly directly to Surat Thani.
It's not far to drive, less than 1 hour from the airport. Nowadays, the dam has a very good internet signal and the water is very clear.

Guilin of Thailand
It is another unseen of Surat Thani and Thailand that once in a lifetime people must come to see and experience the beauty of nature that has been nicknamed as Thailand's Guilin at Ratchaprapha Dam or Cheow Lan Dam. Throughout the boat ride from the pier, I felt wow all the way. It is beautiful and magnificent. Everywhere I looked, I was excited. It is worth it and worthwhile to come and take a boat ride, see the scenery, clear water, beautiful mountains, take a picture with Khao Sam Kloe, the three small rocky peaks that have become the symbol of Cheow Lan Dam, Thailand's Guilin. Because if you don't come to see the Three Friends Rock, it's like you haven't arrived yet.
#Suratthani #Kuilin of Thailand #Khao Sam Kloe must visit again, the number one tourist attraction in Suratthani province, Unseen Thailand surrounded by mountains, rivers with a refreshing atmosphere. Recommended to go in the morning to see the fog covering the mountains or in the evening when the sun sets, it will give a different feeling. That day I went, I was glad there was no rain, the photos came out very beautiful. Whoever goes, check the weather first. As for the cost, there is a boat management fee per boat, you can charter a boat or join others, starting at 1600฿ per boat. There is also a park entrance fee. To book a boat or various packages, contact the pier. It's very convenient. 😊
